Overview

  • Jackson Holliday left a rehab game with Triple-A Norfolk after foul-tipping a pitch and showing clear pain, prompting fresh evaluation of his status.
  • He is working back from hook of hamate removal surgery performed in February and has yet to make his 2026 debut.
  • His buildup restarted in High-A Frederick before moving to Norfolk, following an earlier pause for wrist soreness that team voices described as nonstructural.
  • The setback puts Baltimore’s roster planning in flux, with growing focus on how to keep Jeremiah Jackson in the majors if Holliday’s return is pushed back.
  • Jackson has opened 2026 with a .303 average, .319 on-base, .879 OPS, five home runs and 17 RBIs through 20 games for an Orioles club hovering near 11-12.
